Are there any National University cohort 49 applicants?

Published

Hello!

First time user! I was wondering if there was anyone applying for NU cohort 49. This would be my second time applying for this program and I have been wondering if this would be a good time or when it would be good to apply again. The cohort I applied for was very competitive, the cut-off was 89 points!! Normally it's at about 82-83 points I believe. My final score was 80.7. I am interested in retaking my TEAS since I scored an 80% the first time to raise my score.

I would like to know applicants gpa and teas score if they've already taken it.

Excited to hear from you 😃

Hi!

I am also applying for Cohort 49. I haven't taken the TEAS yet but I am scheduled to take one at SDSU on 7/16/16.

Which cohort did you apply to previously? I've never heard of the cut off being that high! Also, how did you do onthe essay/any tips? I haven't taken a writing class in 4-5 years but it used to be one of my strongest subjects so I'm hoping it won't be too difficult.

This past one, cohort 48. I'm torn, not sure if I should apply this month or wait for October deadline. The only difference will be extra time to study for TEAS and I'm not sure I need that much extra time.

Yes, I spoke to the nursing department and the scores were very high, I didn't stand a chance í ½í¸’. I have to try again though! On the essay I received a 4/5, not too bad. Everyone gets a different question and mine basically asked what would I do to be successful in the nursing program. All I can say is write from the heart. I don't want to say they'll be too strict but they want to see you're able to complete a well organized paragraph. Five paragraphs including intro and conclusion. Make sure your grammar and spelling are good and it should be a piece of cake! I don't think you should worry about ití ½í¸ƒ

Have you you started studying for the TEAS? I have to start studying again.

I was under the impression that is you were denied one cohort you had to skip the next one? But maybe i have been misinformed.

A 4/5 is good! I am not too worried about the essay portion.

I have the ATI TEAS Study Book and I have read/studied it front to back. Prior to studying at all i took the practice exam you can buy online and I scored a 80%. I am hoping to score in the high 80s on the exam to be in a comfortable spot with points..

Well I heard that also but I asked the nursing department and she said I could apply but recommended I should wait until October so that I could have more time to study.

Good job! That's not bad for your first practice test. I was thinking it's probably worth it to get those. The math is what kills me. I know how to solve most problems but I always get the wrong answer, it's so frustrating.

Do do you know how to calculate the points? I thought I did but the way I was doing it gave me a different result from what the nursing department gave me.

I've been told that its a 40/40/20 points system but I have also heard that the points end up being 20 for the essay, 20 for not retaking any classes, 30 for gpa and 30 for the TEAS, so I've calculated them both ways to be safe. What was the point breakdown for your cohort?

My advisor told me the 40/40/20 with the GPA point only calculating your science and math-- so you can have 4.0 overall, but they only score the science grades for points.

I was told 48 ended with scores above 84 only due to high scoring teas tests....

Good luck

Oh okay. My counselor told me my points were 32.5/32.5/16. I plan to do way better on the TEAS ofcourse and I hope that will make me competitive. I would love to retake one of my courses, where I received a C, but it's such a process through Mesa and my couselor told me I have to go to the board for them to approve it. I don't understand why they make it so complicated.

what have you calculated your points to be?

Thank you! Did you apply to cohort 48?

Yes, I spoke to the nursing department and they said to me it was both high TEAS score and high gpas.

Oh no! I'm sorry. It was tough! I can't believe how many applicants there were and how competitive it was. When do you plan to apply again?
